Dives: Once and for all, how much faster do they make you?
Former Member
Ok so we all know how well dives make you go faster, compared to pushing off the wall or flip turn, but how much faster??
I ask this mainly because I am sure I'm not the only one during training curious on how much faster that 100 or 200 would've been if I dove in. Maybe a second??
Also: RELAY EXCHANGES
I'm also curious on average how much faster are you relay splits than your regular races just because of the relay exchange??
Thanks for your help!! :D
I disagree, You're split is to the feet and the finish is to the hand. That's a significant difference. Even the best swimmers slow down on the second half of a race.
If you want to split hairs, you are correct for backstroke and freestyle; not for *** or fly. Although you would be more likely to see the slowing down the second half of the race effect for fly.
